More Burning Crusade Details Emerge

The upcoming expansion for World of Warcraft received its fair share of attention at E3 2006, where the new Alliance race was announced, along with the usual screenshots and trailers. A few more details are revealed in GameSpot's interview with Jeff Kaplan, the game's lead designer. I didn't realize that they are planning to introduce persistent world PVP objectives. "We're building a PVP objective into every new Outland zone for outdoor world PVP. They're different for each zone. Hellfire Peninsula actually has three objectives that are very close to each other. Picture an outdoor Arathi Basin that's always ongoing." It leaves me wondering how they will deal with the population gap that seems to exist between Alliance and Horde on some servers. Maybe they're hoping the Blood Elves are too alluring to resist playing one.
